Watch Duty is the only disaster mapping and warning app powered by real people that gives you real-time information on wildfires and floods, vetted by trained professionals, not robots or AI. While many other apps rely solely on government alerts, which can often be delayed, Watch Duty provides timely, life-saving information through a dedicated team of active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, first responders and reporters monitoring radio scanners 24 hours a day. We strive to keep you informed and safe with real-time updates and alerts.
